- Epic has always been one of my favourite scales of miniatures to paint!
With the recent release of Legions Imperialis from Games Workshop I thought I'd challenge myself to painting 7 of my favourite space marine legions, in as much detail as I physically can but SUPER TINY!
And in this video I share some tips and tricks as to how I did it so you can start your EPIC mini adventure yourself or push your painting skills into even smaller details!

‘They are my SMOL marines and they shall know no fear’. - Lil E
*reads it with the voice of IdioticSinergy* xd
@yopoxikeweapescai9066 I was hearing Max0r in my head. But then again, I just watched his Crusader Kings 3 Brazil video.
I'm referring to the Emperor as "Lil E" from here on out.
@@yopoxikeweapescai9066”Helloooooooo!”
-Tiny Tyranid
Lil’ E sounds like the Emperor’s rapper name.
You forgot to drill out the bolter barrel
GOD DAMN IT
SNORT chuckle
Now you have me curious if this scale has ever been produced in metal - then it would actually be fairly easy to EDM out the bolter barrel enough to look drilled out... At least if you have the knowledge to build or already own electric discharge machining equipment suitable for this scale of project. Though these are big enough you could perhaps laser even the plastic mini's barrel - small laser holes are less neat and can't get nearly as small as EDM.
Though in all cases actually holding the darn things with their awkward shapes would be 'fun'...
Or just a pin hole! 😊
@@foldionepapyrus3441 Original adeptus titanicus/space marine/epic most of the small packs of tanks and artillery were metal, I don't remember ever seeing any GW produced metal infantry in that scale though
Gonna stick my primer can in the microwave to make sure it’s the ideal temperature for painting
Pls pls no 👀
I do want to see that Ork Mega-Stompa-Gargant-Robo-Thingy painted on this channel, not gonna lie.
One day...
@@roguehobbies One day GW should release an Ullanor supplement for 28/8mm Heresy and give us orks!
It's a Mega Gargant they arrived with Titan Legions along with the Imperator Titan.
@@roguehobbies Did you ever play or see any of the Dark Future stuff. Think that was GW's most entertaining non-Warhammer property. Mad Max meets Cyberpunk meets Death Race 2000!
They might be tiny but the love for their emperor is huge
Being a Sons of Medusa player in 40k and seeing very little love for them, I'm super happy to see some smol brothers being painted by such an amazing painter like you! Thanks! :)
Aw thanks dude
The cool thing about 40k is all the Heresy era gear is still in use, it's all lore accurate. Guy Tanicus sounds like a space marines name
"My name is Gaius Titanicus. But my battle brothers call be 'Guy'."
"Ti-tanicus, Sky-tanicus Guy-Tanicus" I laughed way too hard at this.
Just wait til you see what titanicus sounds like spelled backwards
@@roguehobbiesI was going to write supercalifragilisticexpialidocious but then I read it...lmao....well played 😂
@@roguehobbies😱
That anti-paint thinning ‘eavy metal painter’s name? Rhuncan Dodes.

THICK YOUR PAINTS
Always enjoy seeing love for the Lamenters! They're my chosen chapter and I am SLOWLY making my own army, as long as choosing them for my own illustrations!
Love it! Also yes to posting a short for painting that banner!
I just got my first minis to pain! Got myself a little box of Orks :) gonna watch a bunch of your videos (again) to make sure I have all of the basic concepts in mind.
Thanks for all of the amazingly positive vibes you give the art community!
I honestly think a bunch of these tips will be super helpful no matter what size of mini or how experienced you are!! Good luck bud!
My eyes are watering just watching the video; I can't image having the eyesight and eye to hand coordination to paint these minis anything like this. The Lamenter is bonkers. 😍
Really good tips and the paintjobs are fab! The details on the Rainbow Warrior are so good
They're my favourite guys so I had to do it extra well
Knowing when to stop is SO important. Aside from too many layers, it can just really burn you out on a mini. Thanks so much for these tips, as I just started painting up my Epic Iron Warriors.
Should be interesting. I've picked up some Warmaster bits, so I've been doing some 10mm scale painting too and it's a fun change.
Me too! Enjoy
As a Lamenters player I love that you've given the sad boys some love. I really love tiny-hammer, so seeing someone painting unusual chapters is fantastic. Thank you for representing the little folk 😁🤣
It’s crazy to see how small these dudes are! When you recenter the marine with your finger on the turn table just astounds me with how good you are with your painting detail and just how small these guys are 😮 congrats on these mini minis! They all look amazing
Thanks!!
Wow painting Horus heresy minis in modern schemes I can’t believe it.
But seriously you smashed it. They look so tiny and great
I'm maybe the worst person 🤣
@@roguehobbies - I like to see it as you being an enthusiast of the Rogue Trader Era and that's 100% acceptable canon. Also, beaky marines in Chapter colors is proper cozy nostalgia fuel for a LOT of fans, myself included.
@@roguehobbies Let's be real, a lot of us wish we were getting an M41 epic scale game.
I will now be calling Legions Imperialis "Little Guytanicus"
Having tried a desk stand magnifying setup, I also found that tricky to coordinate beyond the lens. So I tried a wearable magnifier, and found that much better. It's hard to describe, but it's like, because the magnifying moves with my head, a bit like wearing my glasses, I feel less finesse disconnect between what I'm seeing and what I'm trying to do. The headband one I got even has multiple magnification lenses I can swap through. Now the only tradeoff is constantly feeling like that old man who shows up for that one scene in Toy Story 2.
I kinda wanna try the magnifying glasses... I feel like they may make me carsick in a weird way though 🤣
I think you diy'ed reading glasses. My plain-old reading glasses work wonderful. 11/10 overthink 😁
If you can get a look st some really old white dwarfs - I remember some crazy painter painted Bad Year on the tires on an Orc battle buggy (remember those?)
oh damn, memory unlocked right there! I remember buying that issue.
I had the same problem with the single magnifying lens stand, the magnified glasses work much better because you still have proper depth perception whereas you dont get that if you are looking through one lens
extra tip for brush control that we mini painters take for granted: choke up on your brush for better control. hold it closer to the bristles on the ferrule for detail work ;)
Oh my goodness, i wish i could paint these tiny buggers! Im more of a medium to large model painter 😅 the "steadying your hand with your hand" advice is perfect. Ive find sometimes im using my pinky to stabalize my hand and end up painting like a sassy queen 👸 ✨️ 😂 pinkies out!
The way you pronounce Vallejo is buenísimo!
gracias ☺️
Re: hands & brushes. I used to use the head of a pin for detail like she's because it's a more stable point than a brush.
As to the hands I would often brace them against the table for stability.
17:37 - This is why you should use head mounted magnifying glasses. It'll take a few hours to get used to. But you'll see those issues long before they become an impossible to fix issue.
That Rainbow Warrior is amazing!!
Defo one of my favourites!
A pinstriping brush is a great way to get a very thin bristled brush that will work perfectly in this type of situation. There are also nail art brushes which are long and thin as well.
Re: primer. The glossy cracked thing is usually because the Matt ingredients haven't been mixed in well enough. You probably need to shame the can more.
Heating the tin will loosen the polymers in the paint which enables easier mixing and expand the gas in the tin raising the pressure. This means potentially a thinner coat
Having finally gotten my hands on some of these Epic scale marines, it's shocking how small they actually are. Seen lots of RUclips videos on painting them, but when you have a camera lens zoomed all in on the figures it's almost impossible to understand just how small they really are! Knowing the true scale of the marines makes the level of detail here even more impressive!
I feel like that when I'm holding a regular 40k mini; they look so small compared to the examples in painting videos. They always look like they must be 54mm scale or something. 😃
I can’t even bring myself to assembling my legion stuff much less painting them.
But you. Great job!
Awesome video, great tips, can't wait for the next one.
I just got done watching your Black Armor master class on WH+ and I have to say you did a great job. You look SO much happier now. You seem to be in a MUCH better place. Keep on killing it over here!
This is exactly the level of absurdity I needed today. Thank youuuuuu
I am absolutely grabbing a set of epics the next time I'm at the Warhammer shop. Thank you for giving me the confidence!
Awesome as always. Thank Lou, keep up the great work x
Now I want to print and paint a bucketful of those tiny cute marines.
Gosh, this is too cool. We now need some 8mm goblins to even the battlefield
That's pretty cool! Tiny scale miniatures have always intrigued me. It's fun to achieve details you think you couldn't paint at a smaller scale. :)
Great video and love the parts about accessibility and dealing with small minis which are so applicable to many peoples.
Lil guys = massive fun! That was such a fantastic video your edge highlighting really made your marines pop. To quote everybody's favourite cartoon super spy Archer, the secret to painting fine detail on small miniatures is to just use the tip 😂🖌
remind me of painting battlechtech infantry models
I just started painting 2 stars of Elementals. They are just like these, stupid tiny!!
And here I was being pretty happy with how my tiny beakies were turning… These look amazing, can’t wait to see more!
I consider it one of the most genius marketing moves to produce something so tiny and then call it epic.
Excellent job there Ms. Rogue.^^
Excellent tutorial. Very informative.
I don't own any Legions Imperialis minis, but the tips in this video will help me paint a 1/144 scale pilot figure that came with a recent Gundam purchase.
FWIW - as I understand it the science of warming up aerosol cans is that they work by the propellant having a really low boiling point, so when you open the valve, it immediately evaporates out the nozzle and drags the paint along with it. The problem being that a liquid evaporating cools down pretty quickly (think of it as the heat energy in the original liquid being turned into kinetic energy of the tiny particles suddenly moving out the can) so by warming up the can first, you're giving it more heat energy to start with so it can go on spraying for longer before the can gets so cold the propellant doesn't evaporate fast enough any more. You'll probably notice the can getting colder if you spray for very long!
Once as a teen I got a cold-burn across the back of my hand test-spraying my canned-air-propelled airbrush after painting for too long - the propellant had stopped fully evaporating and started coming out semi-liquid and spat gobs of itself all over my skin, and it bloody hurt! A dunk in a sink of warm liquid and the can was fine again, unlike the back of my hand.
Awesome minis. The colours and final result are great. Keep up the good work.
this needs to be a new category for the golden daemon
That was incredibly impressive and helpful!!!
Stunning vid and as always a giggle. THank you
loads of great tips! thanks 🖌
Really awesome and useful vid... thanks!
Thanks for the tips on steadying your hands!
They so smol! Thanks Louise, helps a lot
Epic was my first actual 40K game I got into after the gateway drug that was SpaceHulk.
The warm can science in a nut shell:
You nailed it with the warning about boiling water. For fear of blowing it up
Warming up the can in luke warm water means you will have a higher pressure in the can and wil get a more consistent spray.
When gasses decompress, they become colder and want to become a liquid, the molecules move slower and take up less space in the can, meaning you lose pressure.
Great video. I had some gifts from a friend many years ago, 6mm models from Irregular miniatures, a grand army of the Achaemenid era. I found it so comical that they were making miniatures so small, my friend thought my disbelief was amusing, and two weeks later gifted me with some Irregular Macedonian hoplites, this time form the 2mm scale range.
What a time to be alive.
Amazing, Louise!! Bravo ❤
My anxiety levels skyrocketed watching this. I can't even paint standard-scale eyes without almost hyperventilating.
(The best part was foregoing the traditional back-of-hand pallet for the FREAKING thumbnail!)
AMAZING work and video!
It actually started with Space Marines, the game before Epic, that was also set out in the Horus Heresy era. I think it was the second game set up in that era (the first one beeing a Titan fighting game), it was still in that great period were the lore was still in flux....I call this Paleo-grimdark.
I came for the painting tips and info, but stayed for the epic puns in the intro and memes throughout 😉
'It's the tip that really matters' - I'm going to remember that for future reference... 😂
These look great!
I personally have really shaky hands and I have a hand stabilizer (it's a big metal sphere with a stick on one end, and then a base that it sits in, you grab it as an extra stabilization contact point) and a magnifier lamp, both of them together really help a lot; the magnifier does help for seeing small details but the real bonus you get from it is that it works on a physiological level to help reduce tremors, basically your eyes go 'dang, you Shaky' and then it serves as an extra point of feedback. That lets me keep doing my hobby stuff even though things aren't as steady as they used to be.
Stance is super helpful, always go for the classic pyramid myself, elbows on desk and heels of the hands/palms resting and supporting against each other. My main problem is while painting I usually spend too much time on one due to the ocd like nature of my autism, so painting a squad or bulk painting can be a frustrating experience. Hoping the speed paints I am getting will help with that.
Love a it! Thank you for the great tips as well!
Wow! I am seriously impressed that you can paint at that scale.
Wow, hats off to you for priming with a Citadel spray can, I upgraded to the airbrush if I'm not doing like a mass batch of outdoors priming and I use the stuff from Home Depot.
Epic scales official name now is... SMOLHAMMER!
Now I wish I had a table 🤔.
Very cool tinymans. They look adorable and your paintjobs are just... Amazing.
Quality tips Louise. Good work!
Any time 😎👍
...o...m...g...
Did a lot of 15mm minis back in the 80's for our Traveller games, but, geez, 8mm? You are my hero...
Just look at those itty-bitty eyes, just look at them. These wee space marinsies, these smol cutse raccoons. I love them!
Amazing job on the details. I they look great. Impressive how you managed to paint tiny minis with that kind of detail.
Your videos always bring a smile on my face. Thank you for that and keep on beeing awsome! 😂
I love the polite. "I know the difference between 30k and 40k. K thanks" lol
Epic is my first true GW love, I remember playing it on my friends pool table (it was green felt) with the OG Space Marine release set. I went from there to collecting everything the Squats could get... Then GW "Squatted" them. Took me over 20 years to come back to GW.
This was a trip down a lovely green nostalgic memory lane.
Thanks for your video. You are refreshing mini painter for me and this tutorial is very useful,especially for me who started project about Badad War. Also Rainbow Warriors one love
came here for the painting advice but jeeze your eyes and smile are amazeing but the paint jobs and advice are great Thank you
Unbelievably fantastic. Lol, I can barely see mine and am happy to just wash , dry brush, and pick out a few details like swords and bolters
"Don't thin paints?!?" :O
Shots fired!
The question you posed about why heating a rattle can to get a better spray ..
Its because the heat causes the propellant to expand, which increases pressure. It also heats the paint and reduces the paint viscosity, which in turn allows it to be atomised finer and more thoroughly.
If you want bases for them, use a 1x1 Round Lego Tile!
The fact that you painted these in such detail with no magnification absolutely blows my mind!
12:50
Ah yes. Megadeth.
I suddenly got Tornado of Souls playing in my mind just seeing the shirt.
So. That is todays playlist sorted. Now to enjoy quality music and try to grind trough the Old World rules
Good lord Sister you are insanely talented. The Emperor has blessed you with great skill. Great video and I'm really looking forward to giving the new Epic game a shot. I loved the old one. Thank you very much for your time and efforts, it is very much appreciated.
Great tutorial ❤
Thank you! 😊
Shout out to the tiny Undertaker in the background
Whew!! Would not have the steadiness for such fine work. I had the boxed Epic set back in about 97.
"Okay, one last time. These (Titans) are small, but the ones out there are far away."
What a great channel! Thanks for the share!!
Thanks for visiting!!
@@roguehobbies Vio-Lance, Testament & Forbidden rock pretty hard as well. If ya didn't already know. ;-)
I love your paint racks!
Having your nail be the color pallet is really cool.
I have been following this channel for a little while now and love your work and enthusiasm. I know you spent time in Aberdeen and regardless there is somehow you can tell you were here! I think it might be the “humour” or sarcasm but ether way I love it! You still need a wizard with a machine gun? No promises, but might be able to help!
Me as a Sons of Horus main: *glares in horus green*
The lore! The accuracy!
The fact that Astartes have little teefies on their chainswords is seriously impressive!
Having a couple tiny dreadnoughts is adorable.
Bought a sprue of Astartes to design my Titan diorama to better show the scale of the Titan, and they are so well designed!
Gorgeous model work! I have been painting 6mm squats to a pretty high standard. You can batch paint at this scale to a great standard fast by grabbing a paint stick and slapping the models down back to front with double-sided tape. Then, for batches, it is just doing each step 20-30 times by color until you have awesome edge and highlighted tiny war people! 😊
I used to have TAP's The Psycho, but sadly I pulled it out of the cleaner one time last year, and it had gone bald. It was really nice for basically lifting pigment one particle at a time :P
The Emperors unibrow will make all heretics weep!
